Trump Appeals to House And Senate Republicans To Back Him Up On Smearing U.S. Soldier's Family

What the Hell is wrong with this guy?

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign appealed to Capitol Hill for support on Monday as his attacks on the Muslim parents of a decorated U.S. soldier killed in Iraq drew sharp rebukes from fellow party members.
Help me out, here guys ! It’s just a dead soldier, come on, throw me a line, back me up!

It’s like he just cannot believe they are not with him on this. What’s the matter with you guys? Sort of like the boor who tells a rancid joke at the office party after a few too many, or maybe gropes the bosses’ wife, looks around and can’t understand why everyone is staring at him, aghast.

Rob Wasinger, a onetime congressional candidate who has been working for the Trump camp on congressional outreach, sent an email to senior Senate aides saying, "We want to get several member statements out today on this, and would really appreciate your help."

A similar appeal was made to Republicans in the House of Representatives, according to a senior aide.

That’s so awesome! He "would really appreciate” it. And look, here’s some EZ talking points he worked out:

Attached to the appeal were talking points lawmakers could use to try to tamp down the controversy growing since last week's appearance at the Democratic convention by the Khans, the parents of U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed by a bomb in Iraq 12 years ago.

1. Bad thing is, they want to say they support him on this, but are too two-faced to say it.

Jackasses have to say they don't support him on this matter and take actions, like some have with public statements. Otherwise it is guilt by association.

2. My Congresman

Won't do it. He's taking a hard line on this.

3. Disgusting!

Also disgusting is anyone who doesn't speak against him on this. Silence will not do.
